Burning Asgard - What happens when Loki breaks free

Speakers: Daniel Mende, Rene Graf

I personally remember the release of Yersinia at Black Hat Europe 2005. It was a ground breaking experience: a number of Layer 2 attacks regarded purely theoretical until then, was suddenly available in a mostly automated way. And those guys even showed some forays completely unbeknownst to me at the time. We plan to do the same in Vegas, with a new tool called Loki (after the giant from Norse mythology associated with cunning, trickery and evil). It's a Python based framework implementing many packet generation and attack modules for Layer 3 protocols, including BGP, LDP, OSPF, VRRP and quite a few others.

After outlining Loki's inner architecture we'll give insight into several modules and discuss some particularly interesting attacks in the routing protocol space (e.g. cracking OSPF MD5 keys, injection of routes into OSPF and EIGRP environments etc.). Furthermore we'll describe vulnerabilities in lesser known protocols like VRRP. Every attack we mention will be shown in a practical demo and - of course - Loki will be released right after our talk.

Testing IT security is one of the core competences of ERNW. Many of our customers get their IT infrastructure and (Web) applications checked on a regular basis. This may either be done on a very technical level in terms of penetration testing or in a more formal way in terms of general security audits, during which we verify the IT Security Compliance of your company compared to best practices according to ISO17799/ISO27001 ...

Research is the foundation of our Know-How leadership. The objections of this work is to unveil security flaws and vulnerabilities in protocols, technologies and products. Some findings derive from design-flaws, some from poor implementation on a technical level.... [More]
